Sky has finally sealed a £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) deal to acquire ITV‘s television network operations. ITV confirmed to shareholders on Monday morning that it will sell to its pay-TV rival, meaning a crown jewel of British broadcasting becomes part of the NBCUniversal entertainment empire. As part of the deal, Reuters confirmed previous reporting that The Great British Bake Off producer Love Productions will be sold to ITV Studios. The deal is for ITV’s Media & Entertainment arm, not its Studios production and distribution division, and it first emerged late last year. In May, ITV followed up by saying it remained in “active discussions” with Sky. Reuters said it is now being finalized by lawyers and an announcement could be made in the next couple of weeks. ITV Studios, which makes the likes of Love Island and Squid Game: The Challenge, will remain separate and will add Love Productions to its stable, a huge boon given the Great British Bake Off IP. Sky, a division of Comcast, bought 70% of Love in 2014 and the remainder in 2020. Founder Richard McKerrow exited last year. ITV CEO Carolyn McCall was quick to speak up its indie production prospects and global scale on a call with analysts and journalists today amid persistent rumors over its future. With rivals such as Banijay and All3Media merging and the tech and streaming giants getting larger, market chatter has persisted that ITV Studios would need to merge with a rival such as Fremantle or could become another takeover target to gain scale. “We are confident that ITV Studios will continue to succeed,” McCall said. “It has been a real success story in the past eight years. It has grown about 45% and it has the best shows in every genre.” Chris Kennedy, ITV’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Finance Officer, added: “ITV Studios already has the scale to compete in the global market. It is one of the largest independent producers in the world, and more than half the revenue comes from outside the UK.” He pointed to “a very successful strategy of bolt-on acquisitions” and claimed the company would have “sufficient cash to continue” in that vein. “We don’t see the need for a transformational acquisition of anything like this scale,” he added. |

"Naked and Afraid" Gets Shipwrecked |
|
In a high-stakes twist on the franchise, 12 Naked and Afraid all-stars are dropped into open water in the dark of night, finding themselves unexpectedly abandoned and fighting to survive in the all-new series NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED, premiering Sunday, August 2 at 8PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Under the impression that they are entering a standard 35-day group challenge at dawn, the survivalists instead begin their insertion adrift at sea overnight. With emergency flares shooting overhead, the survivalists must grab whatever limited resources they can before making their way ashore. Divided into four groups of three, the survivalists are stranded on a mysterious and isolated island on the lost coast of the Philippines, often described as the "Bermuda Triangle of Southeast Asia," due to its history of past shipwrecks and unexplained disappearances. The terrain offers both opportunities and risk, with a dense, resource-rich jungle that contains the remnants of those who came before. Teams work together to build shelters and tools from the wreckage, including a 300-foot primitive water aqueduct. In the surrounding seas, survivalists must contend with tiger and hammerhead sharks, stingrays, sea snakes and box jellyfish whose venom contains one of the ocean's most lethal toxins. Far removed from civilization and with no food, no fresh water and no clothing, the survivalists must adapt quickly, relying not only on their individual skills but also on their ability to innovate and salvage whatever they can from the environment. With each team receiving only one piece of the challenge map, they must track down the others and combine pieces to rescue themselves from the island on Day 35. The battle-tested survivalists that will be lost at sea include: In addition to watching NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED on Discovery Channel, viewers can join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #NakedAndAfraid and following Naked and Afraid on Facebook, X, and Instagram. NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED is produced for Discovery Channel by Lionsgate Alternative Television. |

Victor Willis, who co-founded the Village People, co-wrote the disco group’s classic hits “Y.M.C.A.,” ″Macho Man” and “In the Navy,” and delighted crowds while dressed as the band’s helmeted and mustachioed police officer, has died. He was 74. “We are profoundly sad to announce the death of Victor Willis, lead singer of Village People,” tand his wife Karen Huff-Willis he group posted on its official Facebook page. The cause was identified as “a short but aggressive illness.” Willis was a musician-actor who, among other things, had appeared on Broadway in “The Wiz” when he decided to cash in on the disco craze in 1977 by joining a group made up of beefy, macho-looking guys dressed as a biker, a construction worker, a cop, a cowboy and a Native American chief. With producer Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, Morali’s business partner, Willis founded the six-member Village People. The idea came to them while partying at an after-hours gay nightclub in the West Village of Manhattan. The group’s self-titled debut album was released in 1977. In 1978, the group released two albums, “Macho Man” and “Cruisin’” — which featured the international hit “Y.M.C.A.,” a song that peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard chart. A year later, Village People released the album “Go West,” which included “In the Navy,” a song that peaked at No. 3 on the chart. “Macho Man” peaked at No. 25 in 1978. In game shows, Willis featured on an episode of "To Tell the Truth" in 2016. An earlier marriage to actress Phylicia Rashad, who appeared with him in “The Wiz” and later starred as Clair Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” ended in divorce. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available. |

In celebration of the 55th anniversary of the beloved 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Netflix today announced that Wonka's The Golden Ticket will premiere globally on September 23, inviting audiences into a thrilling new competition based on Roald Dahl's book Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and inspired by one of the most iconic worlds in cinematic history. Twelve lucky Golden Ticket winners, each with a partner of their choosing, will step through the gates of Wonka's Chocolate Factory and into a world of pure imagination, delicious mischief, and unexpected challenges. Once inside, contestants must navigate a series of Wonka's games, tests, and temptations designed to challenge them physically, mentally, and morally. In this high-stakes social experiment, players will journey through the factory's wondrous and unpredictable landscape, adapting, strategizing, and withstanding the unknown while proving they have the instincts, resilience, and character to thrive in chaos. In the end, only one contestant will have what it takes to earn Wonka's life-changing prize. Adding to the nostalgia, Wonka's The Golden Ticket will feature the recreated voice of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, honoring the legendary performance that has enchanted generations of audiences. The voice of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka has been recreated with the consent of Mr. Wilder's estate. The series will also welcome back Rusty Goffe, who appeared in the original 1971 film, reprising his role as an Oompa Loompa. "More than five decades after Gene brought Willy Wonka to life, people of all ages and backgrounds around the world continue to find joy, laughter and inspiration in his performance," said Karen B. Wilder, Gene Wilder's wife, on behalf of the Gene Wilder Estate. "Gene had a remarkable ability to bring humor, wonder and heart into people's lives, and that connection has endured for generations. We are delighted that Wonka's The Golden Ticket celebrates the warmth and imagination that he brought to the role, introducing that magic to a new generation while honoring the fans who have cherished it for decades." In collaboration with the Roald Dahl Story Company, which Netflix acquired in 2021, and the Gene Wilder Estate, Wonka's The Golden Ticket pays tribute to the enduring legacy of Dahl's beloved book and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory while reimagining its world for a new era of audiences. Wonka's The Golden Ticket will premiere on Netflix September 23, with a two-part finale on September 30. |

Canadian artists have performed on the Eurovision stage for other member countries before, including superstar Celine Dion in 1988 winning the singing contest while competing for Switzerland in Dublin. |

Paramount has offered concessions in a bid to smooth over European Commission concerns about its $111 billion deal for Warner Bros Discovery. The European Commission on Wednesday confirmed a filing in which Paramount made its pledges, which the Ellison-family owned company believes will lead to approval and remove one of the final hurdles in the way of the mega-merger. Furthermore, a “new provisional deadline” a decision has been set for July 22, extended from the previous July 7. The EC doesn’t outline the specifics of such pledges, per its policies. Last week, reports emerged that Paramount believed exiting the United International Pictures pact would be enough to gain favor from the European Commission, with theater operators concerned over the resulting concentration of power. Paramount didn’t specify its concessions today but said in a statement it was “confident that this remedy directly and comprehensively addresses any concerns expressed in the European Commission’s preliminary assessment and support the path for timely clearance.” The British government has signalled that it is likely to intervene in Paramount Skydance’s proposed $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discover, citing concerns about maintaining media plurality. Lisa Nandy, the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said in a written statement to Parliament on Tuesday, “Following engagement with the parties and independent research, my department has today written to the current and proposed owners of Warner Bros. Discovery on my behalf to inform them that I am minded to intervene.” It will decide whether to refer the merger to a Phase 2 investigation by Aug. 7. The move comes after the CMA launched a public comment period for interested parties to express their views on the impact the merger could have on competition in the UK, which concluded on April 27. Under a Phase 1 review, the CMA would have 40 working days to decide whether the merger needs a more in-depth review. If it finds concerns with the merger, it will give the merging businesses five days to propose remedies to address its concerns. The CMA would then have up to 5 more working days to consider the remedies. If none are offered or it does not accept them, the merger would be referred to a Phase 2 review. If if decides to accept remedies provisionally, it would publicly consult on them and consider any responses, with a deadline of 50 working days to make a decision. If the review moves to Phase 2, an independent “inquiry group,” which consists of 3 to 5 people with a range of business, finance, economic and legal experience, would lead the investigation and makes the final decision within 24 weeks. In special circumstances, a Phase 2 investigation can be extended by up to eight additional weeks. The inquiry group would then either clear the merger, consider remedies such as asset divestitures or a legal commitment from the merging businesses to behave in a certain way, or block the merger. In addition, Paramount has slammed rival Netflix in a letter to the Department of Justice for campaigning against the Warner Bros. Discovery merger amid regulatory review of the deal with the David Ellison company. “As Paramount pushes forward with its ‘content-first’ growth strategy, firms like Netflix, Amazon MGM, Disney, Universal, Sony, Lionsgate, A24, Apple, and many others will need to respond in kind, presumably by enhancing their own content creation strategies. (Indeed, Netflix’s panic level response and scorched-earth campaign to try and poison regulators and other stakeholders against the Transaction shows just how seriously Netflix takes Paramount as a scaled competitor.),” Makan Delrahim, Par’s Chief Legal Officer, wrote in a letter to the DOJ’s Antitrust Division. The letter didn’t detail specific actions by Netflix or others. In a statement to Deadline, a Netflix spokesperson disputed the characterization. “These claims from Paramount Skydance are absurd. We walked away from this deal months ago and remain focused on our own business, not theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the regulators to approve this deal and determine if it is in the best interest of the industry and all concerned,” the streamer said. Paramount said today that competition authorities in Australia and New Zealand, as well as Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Serbia and North Macedonia have approved its pending merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Foreign direct investment authorities in Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, Czechia, New Zealand, Italy, France and Romania are also on board, the David Ellison-run company said in an SEC filing.. |
